Don't worry Jan, a few replies won't damage the thread, and I promise I won't post my own covers here again so you don't feel I'm hijacking it.

It looks like people like your stuff, so it might make sense to move it to a dedicated thread, so it doesn't get buried in this one.

Thank you for the suggestion I will be doing that :), I kind of forgot this is mostly a forum and had this topic as an only posters pin.

By the way, while I was looking at some cover art I found an artist which has a couple of pieces you might find useful as a source for your AI training (I actually don't know enough about how that works), so here is the link for one of his pieces:

I also found this Loom cover, I can't remember if it was mentioned before but I don't remember seeing it at all, I think it's an FM town version.

And I also found about a Fate of Atlantis comic book mini-series that was released back in 1992 with great cover art (not sure if those covers are made by the same artist as the game's cover), I don't know if you guys knew about those 😛

Thanks, I already have a scan of the Loom FM-Towns cover, so I'll deal with that at some point. The FOA comic book covers were painted by Dave Dorman, as opposed to William Eaken, who painted the game's cover. They are a slightly out of scope for this project, at least as long as there are bigger fish to fry.

 

On the upside, here's another round of begging for scans. With the recent find of the photo of the original "Outlaws" painting (yeah, I only found a photo, not the painting itself), I think I'll tackle that one next. I'm still missing a good 600 dpi scan of a (good condition) Outlaws box. Both the US release and the UK "LucasArts Classics" release would be of interest, as both have relatively little text on them:

Furthermore, there's a double-page ad for the game in issue #38 of the US magazine PC Gamer (July 1997), which might be useful as well:

Anybody able to help out?

I had to squeeze this wonderful promotional artwork for "Dark Forces" in.

Painted by David Grove, this was used for print ads in several magazines back in the time. Interestingly, the original painting was created with much brighter colors, and later darkened for printing. Surely this was intentional, as the art works much better this way, given the game it was created for.

I've created several different versions for this:

I have the ad sheet for Outlaws which doesn't have the bullet holes, but it's in storage so I won't be able to scan it for a couple of weeks.

I can't get the scans of the normal Outlaws magazine ads without the text on the other side bleeding through. I forget... do I need a thick, black board to place behind it on the scanner to not let the light shine through to the back page?

I usually use a black T-shirt or towel.

Getting there. (And finally, the bread is in front of the logo)

Logo is less readable now because the bread intersects the K all over the place! It makes sense why they covered it before for store shelf readability. But this looks fantastic!

I don't really have a priority list, as I just continue working on what I feel like that day. Zak is close to done, so that's probably coming next. Maniac Mansion is quite far along as well. I'm still missing more scans for Outlaws and I'll probably get some better scans for EfMI soon.

 

I've played around with logo removal on The Dig and Loom, so those might get an update further down the line as well.

 

Apart from that, there are no immediate further plans. What myriad of unscanned covers/posters are you referring to?

The ones that come to mind are the OG Grim Fandango box, Rebel Assault 1 box, X-Wing Alliance, and other misc. Star Wars games like Shadows of the Empire.
